    I currently own a 5150 with a UXGA (1600x1200) screen. However, I just purchased a 6000 with a WSXGA (1650x1050) resolution. Do you think this jump back will be that big of a deal? I do like the UXGA screen and I am used to it after 2 years.. I am sure in time I will get used to the WSXGA but I am just curious if anyone out there made this move and what their opinion of it is?

    Thanks!

    Well, I once had a SXGA+ 1400x1050 screen on my Dell Insprion, and I went to a WXGA 1280x800 widescreen from that, there wasn't a huge difference to me. Of course, I have never really had a UXGA - I tried one out once at a store, but it was just too small for me to read...

    There shouldn't be a big difference going between those two screens. :cool:

    What jumpback?! It's only a 9.7% change in the number of pixels...
